Below is my opinion on the top 12 as it stands.

Information has been gathered from http://www.grepostats.com, http://en.grepo-world.com and http://en23.grepolismaps.org

1 The Indomitable Gauls
Members: 30
Cities: 47
Avg Point per member: 5,212
ABP: 26,954 (1st)
Comment: Positioned on the O45/ O55 northern border with members on the O54/ O55 border they are almost at the center point of the core. At this early stage they are showing good promise with almost 50% of their members having their second city and ranked 1st in ABP with a clear lead. They have picked up some of the top members from Sausage Smugglers who are obvioulsy not happy. They dont seem to be focusing on an one alliance with their conquests and are probably concentrating on position rather than enemies at the moment. All their members are showing good growth but still have 3 that have no kills on the board :( Time will tell if they can hold onto their top spot :)


2 Rim Express
Members: 29
Cities: 32
Avg Point per member: 3,240
ABP: 10,845 (4th)
Comment: Positioned in O54 they have a resonable spread between their cities and seem to have landed either side of a large dead space in the ocean. This may cause some issues with supporting each other but its not that bad to be a major concern. They have started to pick up addition cities with 3 shiny new ones on the board. They are getting some kills on the board and sit a respectable 4th in the ABP ranking however they still have members who havent bloodied their troops yet.


3 Fo Shizzle
Members: 28
Cities: 31
Avg Point per member: 2,876
ABP: 6,680 (9th)
Comment: Positioned in the NE corner of O54 they have a nice tight spread of cities. They also have taken their first conquest for the alliance and seem to have active members. They probably need to do a bit more killing with only sitting 9th rank for ABP. It should be interesting times for these guys with The Indomitable Gauls on their northern border and Rim Express on their flanks.


4 D3TH
Members: 29
Cities: 29
Avg Point per member: 2,426
ABP: 5,970 (10th)
Comment: Positioned on the O44/ O54 southern border they have a resonable spread of cities with almost half of their members on 2 core islands. All their members seem active and showing resonable growth. They are yet to get a conquest on the board but shouldnt be far away from getting their first. They have quite low ABP for a 4th placed alliance and need to get some more kills up to be respectable.


5 FoxHound
Members: 26
Cities: 27
Avg Point per member: 2,648
ABP: 9,320 (6th)
Comment: Spread diagonally across the center of O55 they cover a resonable area however they have members on ajoining islands so supporting each other shouldnt be to much of a problem. They to are mixed in with Rim Express so should see some fun times ahead :) They have some decent growth but seem to be slowing down with their kill rate which will need to be addressed if they are to continue up the ABP rankings. They have picked up their first conquest and should have more soon to follow :)


6 Veritas Prime
Members: 26
Cities: 27
Avg Point per member: 2,517
ABP: 1,986 (20th)
Comment: Positioned in the SE corner of O44 they already show having a number of members with limited activity and no growth in the last few days which will make it hard for them to recover at this early stages of the game. They do have quite low ABP for a top 12 alliance which may indicate their lack of experience. They have however taken their first conquest and should have a couple of additional members that are almost ready to take their first.


7 Semper Fidelis
Members: 28
Cities: 28
Avg Point per member: 2,343
ABP: 3,513 (17th)
Comment: Also positioned in the SE corner of O44 they are mixed in with Veritas Prime which should make things fun providing they havent been silly and have a pact with an alliance on their door step :). They to have a number of member showing limited activity some of their members have yet to get some kills on the board. They need to get some more kills if they are to be taken seriously as an alliance :)


8 The Exile
Members: 29
Cities: 29
Avg Point per member: 2,249
ABP: 1,249 (31st)
Comment: Positioned in the SW corner of O54 they have quite a large spread of cities for the number of members. If its possible to have a MRA in this world then you would have to look at The Exile potentially being one. With almost maxed out membership, wide spread of members, low average points and low ABP they seem to tick all the boxes for one. With their souther most members positioned on the NE border of The Indomitable Gauls i expect they will be slowly consumed :) They are also ranked 7th for DBP so someone is having some fun with their members :)


9 Infection
Members: 30
Cities: 31
Avg Point per member: 2,075
ABP: 8,217 (7th)
Comment: Positioned in the SW corner of O54 they have quite a large spread of cities and are a bit to far spread for my liking :) They are also mixed in with The Exile and are probably picking up some easy BP their :) They have picked up their first city although it was an abandoned one :p Most of their members are showing good growth with only a couple of 0's on the board. They are sitting a respectable 7th for ABP but have a number of members with no kills and thanks to probably the top half of their members that they are keeping this position.


10 Shadows Fall
Members: 21
Cities: 23
Avg Point per member: 2,845
ABP: 12,303 (2nd)
Comment: Positioned towards the SE corner of O44 they seem to be the dark horse at the moment. With only 21 members they have jumped into 2nd place for ABP and showing alot of promise. Their cities are quite well spread which may cause them trouble later but time will tell. They have 2 shinny new cities for the alliance but both were abandoned so easy takes for them :) All their members seem active and getting some good kills on the board :) I think these guys will be the ones to watch :)

11 Dark Avengers
Members: 26
Cities: 26
Avg Point per member: 2,179
ABP: 3,945 (16th)
Comment: Positioned in O45 they have a resonable spread diagonally across the NE corner of the ocean. They have a few members showing limited activity but should have members ready to take their first city shortly. They do have a bunch of members with no kills so will need to do something about that. They are ranked 4th for DBP so they are being hit by other alliances.

12 The SilenT Killers
Members: 30
Cities: 30
Avg Point per member: 1,895
ABP: 1,457 (26th)
Comment: Well with maxed out membership, low ABP and average points The SilenT Killers would have to be another candidate for a MRA. With a wide spread of cities in the NE quad of O45 i would expect the more experienced allaices in the area to take them over fairly easily. They wont be in the top 12 for to long me thinks :)

Lots has changed so here is an update

1 The Indomitable Gauls (=)
Members: 29 (-1)
Cities: 56 (+9)
Avg Point per member: 6,938 (+1718)
ABP: 34,942 (+7988) (1st(=))
DBP: 5,020 (6th)
Comment: The Indomitable Gauls still continue to grow at a rapid rate and now have 25 colonizations. It seems they have a liking for sausage and have taken a number of cities off Sausage Smugglers. It also appears a couple of Sausage Smugglers members have taken on the attitude "if you cant beat them join them" and have jumped a sinking ship into TIG. A number of their members have taken Abandoned cities which i would not have thought would be necessary given their current strength but maybe its for strategic positioning. Ranked 6th for DBP someone is at least having a crack back at them :)

2 Rim Express (=)
Members: 29 (=)
Cities: 36 (+4)
Avg Point per member: 3,929 (+689)
ABP: 14,596 (+3,751) (4th(=))
DBP: 4,377 (11th)
Comment: They have taken an additional 4 cities since last report 3 of which were abandoned and 1 without an alliance so seem to be playing it safe and not creating any enemies with other alliances. They have kept the same number of members however they have some with limited activity which they will probably want to do something about soon if they dont pick up. Ranked 11th for DBP they seem to have taken some hits early on but things seem to have settled down for now.

3 Fo Shizzle (=)
Members: 27 (-1)
Cities: 35 (+4)
Avg Point per member: 3,506 (+630)
ABP: 10,644 (+3,964) (7th(+2))
DBP: 3,084 (18th)
Comment: With 6 colonizations under their belt all of which are abandoned with some under 1k in size you would think they would use their CP a bit more wisely (does this show a lack of leadership and direction?). They have however gone up the ABP ranking 2 spots so they must be getting some kills out there which is good to see :). Ranked 18th for DBP they dont seem to be anyone's favorite play thing at the moment :)

4 Shadows Fall (+6)
Members: 23 (+2)
Cities: 30 (+7)
Avg Point per member: 2,845 (+932)
ABP: 12,303 (+4,232) (2nd(=))
DBP: 1,293 (37th)
Comment: Jumping 6 spots in the ranking and continuing to hold their 2nd spot for ABP these guys seem to be doing it right. Its good to see their last 5 conquests have been members of other alliances with 3 coming from Veritas Prime :) Surprisingly they still do have a couple of members with no kills on the board :( Sitting 37th for DBP they are probably clearing any threats before they get a chance to attack them :)

5 Dark Avengers (+6)
Members: 29 (+3)
Cities: 30 (+4)
Avg Point per member: 2,752 (+573)
ABP: 5,576 (+1,631) (13th(+3))
DBP: 6,510 (3rd)
Comment: Dark Avengers have also jumped up the rankings but seems to be as a result of recruiting a number of members from the disbanded Remembrance alliance rather than by activity. They still continue to have the 1 colonisation with their increasee cities a result of additional members. Randed 3rd for DBP it seems like they may have a few enemies who are hitting their members.

6 FoxHound (-1)
Members: 26 (=)
Cities: 28 (+1)
Avg Point per member: 3,013 (+365)
ABP: 11,663 (+2,343) (6th(=))
DBP: 4,740 (7th)
Comment: Dropping 1 place in the ranking FoxHound seem to be holding their own for the moment. They have picked up 1 additional city (abandoned) and have had a steady increase in ABP. They do however still have members with zero kills some of which have reasonably high point cities ("Turtles" i hear you cry)

7 D3TH (-3)
Members: 26 (-3)
Cities: 27 (-2)
Avg Point per member: 2,945 (+519)
ABP: 6,593 (+623) (11th(-1))
DBP: 4,679 (9th)
Comment: Dropping 3 spots in the ranking as a result of 3 members leaving for another alliance and the increase in recruitment by SF and DA they have their first conquest of a respectable size city off another alliance member. They have had quite low increase in ABP compared to the other alliances causing them to drop a spot in ABP ranking but resonable growth in their avg points per member.

8 Semper Fidelis (-1)
Members: 29 (+1)
Cities: 29 (+1)
Avg Point per member: 2,553 (+210)
ABP: 4274 (+761) (16th(+1))
Comment: With no colonisations on the board they should have members that are well and trully ready for it and need to get a move on :). They still have a number of members looking to have limited activity and their leader probably need to get their kicking boots on :). They have picked up a place in the ABP ranking but need to do more than a 700 increase in comparison to the other alliances in the top 12.

9 Infection (=)
Members: 29 (-1)
Cities: 31 (=)
Avg Point per member: 2,435 (+360)
ABP: 8,763 (+546) (9th(-2))
DBP: 3,305 (18th)
Comment: Infection seem to be ticking along all be it quite slowly with very low increase in their stats compared to the rest of the top 12. They have dropped 2 spots for ABP as a result of their slow growth. They need to pick up the pace if they are going to be contender in this world.

10 Valkyrie (New)
Members: 30
Cities: 30
Avg Point per member: 2,225
ABP: 953 (49th)
DBP: 526 (72nd)
Comment: New to the top 12 Valkyrie and positioned with some members in the SE corner of O54 and some in the middle of O55 they appear to be a classic noob alliance with random recruiting without any thought of relative position to each of their memebrs. Oh dear they also have an academy alliance, cant be bother writing to much more as they wont be here for long :p

11 DEATh Wings (New)
Members: 29
Cities: 29
Avg Point per member: 2,159
ABP: 2,322 (20th)
DBP: 1,907 (27th)
Comment: Another new alliance to the top 12 whose leaders have taken the splatter gun approach to recruiting and have members spread across the whole of O54. They do have a bit o ABP on the board and all their members look active. I imagine they will slowly get picked off as given their spread they cant possibly effectivley support each other.

12 The SilenT Killers (=)
Members: 28 (-2)
Cities: 28 (-2)
Avg Point per member: 2,213 (+319)
ABP: 2,275 (+818) (22nd(+4))
DBP: 2,948 (20th)
Comment: They have managed to keep their top 12 spot by the skin of their teeth with The Unknown Quantity breathing down their necks. They have managed to jump a few spots in the ABP ranking but its still very low for a top 12 alliance.

Additional Note:
Veritas Prime - dropped 9 spots in the ranking to 15th after loosing 3 cities to Shadows Fall

The Exile - drop 16 spots to 24th due to loosing a city and a bunch of members to other alliances.

I half scolded some of the people who took ghosts, but some of them were not completely whacked. :p

Great review nonetheless, really enjoyed it.
